editor

Laura Burgoine

The

Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender is an independent weekly newspaper, covering the boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham.

True cinephiles will want to dodge the major cinema chains this weekend and head instead to Catford Mews, where the latest installments of London’s Short Film Festival are rolling. On Sunday June 27, under the umbrella name ‘Pulp Fictions’, audiences can look forward to a gritty selection of noir-tinged movies featuring assassinations, family feuds, vampires and serious bad guys. Then on Monday June 28, the atmosphere lightens as grizzly drama gives way to an Animation Variety Show, with cartoons from Korea, Croatia and Taiwan among those tumbling onto the screen.

Catford Mews, 32 Winslade Way, London SE6 4JU. Pulp Fictions on June 27, 4:30pm. Admission: £9.50/£8.50 concessions. Animation Variety Show on June 28, 5:30pm. Admission: £6.50/£5.50 concessions. www.catford-mews.co.uk/

We are also the highest distribution newspaper in Lewisham.

Woolwich performing arts venue the Tramshed has launched a brand new company for performing arts creatives aged 16 to 20.

Paul McGann stars in Caryl Churchill quadruple bill at Greenwich Theatre

Greenwich Theatre boss James Haddrell is perpetually fascinated by the “endlessly rewarding” work of playwright Caryl Churchill. In March, he staged an online production of her 1978 televised play The After-Dinner Joke with a huge cast made up of fresh-faced talent.

Now, with the physical theatre reopen for business, James is staging a quadruple bill of Churchill’s rarely staged works under the umbrella title Bad Nights and Odd Days, with actor Paul McGann of Withnail and I, Doctor Who and Luther fame performing, writes Holly O’Mahony…

The line-up features Churchill’s short play Abortive (1971) – celebrating 50 years since it was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 – as well as rarely staged revivals of one-act plays Seagulls (1978) and Three More Sleepless Nights (1980). A lastminute addition sees Churchill’s 1971 radio drama Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen added to the bill.

The artistic director tells us more about the four works going on show together, and why they remain so pertinent decades after being written.

4 June 23 2021

Holly O’Mahony: Having only recently staged an online version of Caryl Churchill’s television drama The After-Dinner Joke, what led you to commission four more of her works as part of your reopening season?

James Haddrell: Caryl Churchill’s work has always fascinated me. She seems to be equally comfortable tackling huge issues – from cloning (A Number) to gender equality (Top Girls) and international relations (Far Away) – or clinically dissecting the minutiae of human

relationships. Few writers are genuinely that diverse, and Churchill has become one of the most iconic writers of the last half century.

HOM: How did you come to choose the four plays, Abortive, Seagulls, Three More Sleepless Nights and Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen? How do they complement one another?

JH: Taken together, these four plays demonstrate that huge breadth of interest that defines Churchill’s work. Abortive, first presented on

BBC radio in 1971, puts a privileged relationship under a microscope (and a scalpel!). Seagulls is very special; ostensibly a play about an ordinary woman who discovers that she has telekinetic abilities, it works on another level as a glimpse of Churchill’s own fear of losing her ability to write. Three More Sleepless Nights is a study of the relationships where we say too much, those where we say too little, and the outcome when those two worlds collide. Finally the new addition to the line-up, Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen, is a frightening vision of the near future where air is contaminated, oxygen has become a commodity and families are regulated by government.

HOM: Gosh, the latter seems especially prescient in a year that’s seen Covid sufferers around the world queue up for oxygen.

As a director, what keeps you returning to Churchill’s work?

JH: As I write this I have been working on Abortive with Paul and Kerrie for three days. It is a 20-minute play, and yet we have already spent three days delving

editorial@weekender.co.uk

into the story that’s being told, the characters who are telling it, and the layers of subtext that sit underneath everything the two people say, and we are far from finished. Her writing is so textured, so utterly real in revealing the misunderstandings, untruths, misdirection and emotional games that exist in any conversation – her work is endlessly rewarding for actors and creatives to work on, and I’m sure that the final productions will be as rewarding for audiences.

HOM: The quadruple bill is being bolstered by the performance of Paul McGann. Which of the shows is he performing in?

JH: I have followed Paul’s work for years – from Withnail and I to Doctor Who and Luther. Paul appeared at Greenwich Theatre most recently in a touring production of Moira Buffini’s play Gabriel (2017) and since then, I’ve been looking for the right project to bring him back.

He’ll be appearing in Abortive and in Three More Sleepless Nights.

HOM: Can you tell us any more about the casting?

Who else is performing? www.weekender.co.uk

THEATRE JH: Kerrie Taylor (from Hollyoaks and Where The Heart Is) is starring opposite Paul in Abortive. Gracy Goldman (known for roles in Intergalactic and Breeders on Sky One) is performing in Three More Sleepless Nights.

We’re also welcoming Verna Vyas, Dan Gaisford and Bonnie Baddoo to the company.

HOM: What makes the four plays, which were written between 1971 - 1989, relevant today?

JH: When Caryl writes intimate drama, she writes about the human condition – about relationships and all of their complexities, about lies and half-truths, about class and power, about security and instability. Those things are timeless. When she writes on a grander scale, like in Not Not Not Not Not Enough Oxygen, her work is startlingly prescient. The play is decades old, and was set in a dystopian vision of 2010. Much of her vision has either come true or is threatening to come true in the years ahead.

HOM: How do you hope the audience responds to seeing the works today?

JH: Seeing the four plays together as a collection, as well as simply revelling in being back in a theatre, I think audiences will be left thinking about the plays long after the performances. The ambiguity of the scripts leaves a lot for the audience to fill in, and that offers a real pleasure. There are undertones of sinister violence, of despair, of ambition, even of absurd comedy running beneath the four pieces, and in rehearsal we have already referenced everything

editorial@weekender.co.uk

from The Great Gatsby to Star Wars.

HOM: Lastly, you’ve been open again for a month now. How have you found the experience of welcoming audiences back after your second long period of closure?

JH: We reopened on May 21 with a touring production of Romeo and Juliet by cycling Shakespeare company The HandleBards, and audiences loved the show. We have learnt a huge amount during the pandemic, about what audiences and artists need and about how to reach out in new ways, from audio drama to interactive online events for children, but we cannot forget that we are blessed with one of the best auditoria in London and there is nothing more rewarding that having people in the venue watching a great show.

ARTS & ENTS

Plumstead is making merry again The longest-running community festival in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Plumstead Make Merry has taken place every year since June 1975 with only two exceptions: it was cancelled in 2011 due to lack of funding as a result of central government cuts, and again in 2020 at the hands of you-know-what. After last year’s hiatus and with so much uncertainty trickling into 2021, it’s all the more exciting that the festival returns this Saturday, albeit on a slightly smaller scale than in previous iterations, writes Holly O’Mahony…

To punters and organisers alike, the volunteer-run event is the most important date in Plumstead’s social calendar.

Taking place on Plumstead Common, the festival line-up runs from 12pm - 6pm, with six hours of live performances taking place on stage. There will also be workshops inviting visitors young and old a more hands-on experience, and 60 stalls selling everything from ready-to-eat plates to artisan gifts.

Local designer Richard McDonald has produced a letterpress poster and will be donating all money raised from the sale of his prints to the festival.

The theme of the 2021 festival is ‘colourful’, with organisers encouraging visitors to ‘bring your rainbow selves’.

So, what’s happening? On the main stage, Mayor of Greenwich, Cllr. Denise Hyland

6 June 23 2021

will officially open the event at 12pm, with local musicians Simon Bromide and Rob Thom compèring from 12pm to 3pm and 3pm to 6pm respectively. Both will also be performing with their respective bands.

Highlights from the busy programme include a performance by Emmanuel The Magnificent and the UK African Acrobats, and performances from local reggae/Afrobeat group One Jah Band, 17-year-old singer-songwriter Daisy and four-piece band Cygnet Committee.

Sam Letchford of the Old Country Crossfire band is performing blues, country, jazz and rock numbers in a solo capacity, and local group The Renegades will be getting the crowd dancing with a line-up of pop and rock covers. Singersongwriter Marilyn Joy, who impressed audiences in a previous iteration of

Plumstead Make Merry ordinarily sees thousands of visitors flock to the common each year for a day of familyfriendly fun and a chance to scope out local talent – from independent makers to performers brave enough to take to the stage. At its core and in the eyes of its organisers, the festival is as much a celebration of history and diversity as it is a fun day out.

the festival from the Acoustic Café is this year heading to the mainstage.

Kids are taking to the stage too, among them Rockliffe Manor Primary School Choir, Foxfield Primary School Choir and Plumstead Manor School Variety Act. The latter will be performing a selection of pop, rock and ballads with musical accompaniment from the school’s year 9 - 11 bands.

Plumstead’s ‘King of Swing’ Albert King is returning to the event with a new line-up of old school classics, and the brilliantly named youth band ‘Banned From Sainsbury’s’ – who have been around for years in various incarnations – are taking to the stage to perform some popular hits.

The Tramshed’s production of The

Hare And The Tortoise is also being performed throughout the day and is sure to delight little ones, while teaching them the age-old fable that slow and steady wins the race.

For those keen to do as well as see, the festival’s programme of family-friendly workshops includes a chance to pick up a ukulele and strum alongside the Wandsworth Uke Troop – no experience required.

David Hall will be running his popular ‘Mathmagics’ class in the Workshop Tent, injecting some fun into the often daunting subject. The session is free and open to kids of all ages. And in addition to performing, Emmanuel The Magnificent and his team are planning an interactive workshop filled with storytelling and surprises.

editorial@weekender.co.uk

A fully community-run event, locals are invited to run a stall, perform or volunteer on the day, though advanced registration is required.

Preparations are in place to make the 2021 festival as safe as possible, including social distancing and fewer attractions likely to result in lingering crowds. However, in a press release about this year’s festival, the organisers promise attendees can still expect a full day of family fun.

Sarah Harper, Chair of the organising team said, “What an amazing day we have planned, we want to bring together our diverse community and showcase local talent, makers and businesses, but in a safe way.”

Plumstead Make Merry is taking place on Plumstead Common, SE18.

June 26, 12pm - 6pm.

A celebration of summer on Greenwich Peninsula

Summer is officially in full swing on Greenwich Peninsula. A ‘Summer Sessions’ programme is offering three months of free activities, including live music, film screenings, family sports, workshops and DJ-sets to raise spirits and keep the crowds mingling, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Pitched as ‘a free celebration of community spirit, culture and the great outdoors’, Summer Sessions sees The Tide on Greenwich Peninsula ripple with a rich programme of activities.

Adding artistic prestige to the affair is the fact the action is being set to a backdrop designed by BritishNigerian artist-of-the-moment Yinka Ilori, whose work is also currently on show at Somerset House’s Dodge installation and as part of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s £7m campaign ‘Let’s Do London’ – a bid to attract staycationers to the capital this summer.

residencies from community radio stations Reprezent FM (June 26 & 27; July 3 & 4) and Foundation FM. DJs Charlie Dark and Just Vibes will also be getting the crowds moving at various points this summer. The musical arm of the programme culminates in the Turning Tides Music Weekend (September 11 & 12), which promises performances from Nigerian singersongwriter Nneka among others.

Previous years have seen Laura Mvula, Sink the Pink and Gaz Coombes perform, and more big names for this year’s line-up are likely to be announced soon.

Encouraging Londoners to come, explore and dwell on Greenwich Peninsula is also the core aim of the Summer Sessions series. Yinka’s design for the main stage, an installation titled ‘Promise me memories and I will let you in’, is undoubtedly a big part of the pull.

A giant pop-up screen will host a Saturday night programme of open-air film screenings (among those still to come are The Story of Lovers Rock on June 26 and The Shape of Water on July 3), while during the day, sport enthusiasts can pull up a deck chair and watch highlights from the Wimbledon Championships (June 28 - July 11) and the Tokyo Olympics (July 23 - August

Audio highlights of the series include a chance to get your groove on to

8). And if watching world-class feats in sporting leaves you feeling inspired, you can rally your clan and get involved with Summer Sessions’ Sports Day on July 10, a full day of ‘nostalgic games and family fun’ (their words!) curated by Hemingway Design.

Also loaning her signature brand of bold colours and shapes to Summer Sessions is street artist Camille Walala, whose work memorably formed NOW Gallery’s WALALA X PLAY immersive maze exhibition back in 2017. Here, the artist has designed a striking pingpong experience. A mini golf course and further floor games will also keep families and big kids entertained, while a cluster of street food trucks and an outdoor bar will contribute to the event’s festival-esque ethos.

Creators will be drawn to the programme of craft activities and wellbeing workshops on offer, while talks and design tours offer the chance to learn

about the architecture of the area, including The Tide itself – designed

by Diller Scofidio + Renfro to connect the seven districts of the peninsula to a 5km elevated pathway. A walking tour offers moments for contemplation in front of the peninsula’s spattering of sculptures by world-renowned artists including Damien Hirst, Allen Jones and Morag Myerscough.

In addition to Summer Sessions, Greenwich Peninsula continues to play home to its new farmers’ market, FLOW. The bi-weekly market champions local producers showcasing the best in sustainable, ethically-sourced produce. Perched on the edge of the river, FLOW is a safe, breezy hub for the community to gather and shop locally this summer. With design studio and multi-sensory experience specialists Bompas and Parr a chief collaborator, visitors can expect a touch of the company’s signature whimsical magic to be added to an events

editorial@weekender.co.uk

programme of talks, crafts and music.

At its essence, Summer Sessions hopes to attract visitors to the peninsula but also to offer families and friends a safe, outdoor space to host long-awaited reunions, while enjoying an eclectic mix of activities.

Kaia Charles, Cultural Projects Manager at Greenwich Peninsula said: “Summer Sessions is our way of bringing some much-needed entertainment that is open and accessible for all to enjoy. We hope people will enjoy the eclectic line-up of summer performances and will spend time exploring the playful, creative space Yinka Ilori has created, designed to create unforgettable memories for all those who experience it.”

Summer Sessions is running at The Tide on Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0ES. June 12 - September 19.

History Old crane at priors from creek

The Brewery Wharf with no brewery

headline here about this

Working south down Deptford Creek on the Greenwich bank is the first wharf we come to on the south side of Creek Road.

Today this is one of the last working wharves in Greenwich and it dominates the corner of the creek and Norman Road with cranes and silos. It is not a particularly large wharf and turns out to have what is probably an uneventful history The early history of the wharf is not clear, it appears to have been called, like another wharf to the north, ‘Creek Bridge Wharf' and to have been part of the Creek Bridge Company estate. We can thus assume it was built as part of the construction of the iron bridge over the creek and that they leased it to contractors. On the tithe map of the 1840s it is shown as being in the occupation of a William Jarman.

Jarman was a contractor for local authority work and the local papers give an annual account of the tender for road work. William Jarman always seems to have won. In 1846 this was for Granite kerbs 12 inches by 6 at 1s. 2.½ d. a foot (about 6p.)

2 inch York paving at 8½ d. per foot (about 3p) Rock paving 2 ¼ inch at 9d.per foot (about 3p) 6-inch pebble paving at 3s per yard superficial (about 15p) Granite cubes 10s per yard superficial (about 50p)

10 June 23 2021

Jarman is described as a master stonemason and he lived alongside the wharf in what was then called Bridge Street, now Creek Road. Newspaper reports of the day give a number of other Mr. Jarmans living around the area, all of whom seem to have been members of various elected local authority bodies, (and award the contracts, oh dear!)

Mr Jarman died in February 1849, and his widow continued with the stone masons business on the wharf, and continued to win local authority contracts as the lowest tenderer. It is not clear how long Mrs. Jarman remained at work here, nor indeed who used the wharf for the next fifty or so years. On maps as late as 1864 it is still called Bridge Wharf, but by 1893 the name has changed to Brewery Wharf and it was still in use for the production of construction material.

Why is it called Brewery wharf? I have found no record of any brewery using it. The nearest brewery was Lovibonds based in Greenwich High Road – but they did have a rear entrance into

Norman Road which was near to the Creek and Brewery Wharf. Lovibonds had originally come to Greenwich in 1847 when they bought the Nag's Head Brewery, Esther Place, which was in Bridge Street, but much nearer to where the Docklands Light Railway Station is now and thus no nearer to Brewery Wharf than Lovidbonds Brewery in Greenwich High Road, where they moved in 1865. On the 1867 Ordinance Map Brewery Wharf is still marked as ‘Bridge Wharf’ and has a crane and a small inlet. So, did Lovibonds use Brewery Wharf? Well, maybe.

There is no more information about the Brewer Wharf until 1889 when Schmidt Moss Litter Company advertised their product from this address. This was animal bedding, probably in this case for horses and which was said to come from Germany. Schmidt did not stay long and from 1890 the wharf was occupied by Joseph Robinson.

Robinson’s were advertising ‘flexible Asphalte roofs’ which were ‘impervious to the elements ‘and could be delivered with promptitude and despatch’.

Robinsons was originally from Carlisle and specialised in ‘fire proof’ building materials. Their advertisements came with an endorsement of fire safety from Captain Shaw of the London Fire Brigade. They also had a line in alabaster for which they were lessees from ‘with Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Lonsdale and St Bees School Commissioners’.

They made Plaster of Paris and ‘the best London Portland cement’. Steamers, they said, could berth alongside Brewery Wharf and they also seem to have done a deal with a Whitehaven firm, John Hollway, for berthing rights at the Wharf.

Robinsons seem to have remained there into the 1920s when oil and grease manufacturer T.Harris was also there.

In a change from building materials in 1908 an occupant of the wharf was advertising “WHAT IS LIFE! A Pamphlet explaining the action of “electro plasm on Protoplasm” at the cost of a halfpenny and a self addressed envelope.

The wharf was bought by J.J. Prior in 1955 –although it is said they had operated it since 1870 – presumably along with all the others.

Priors dated from the mid-19th century when James John Prior from Great Sampford, Essex, saved enough money to set up his own company. By 1888 they were established as a river transport company with a depot at Orchard Wharf in Poplar – just on the other side of the River from Greenwich Peninsula. In 1934 they acquired a sand marketing company based in Fingringhoe – an Essex village on the river Colne near Colchester and in the 1990s their head office moved there. In the early 2000s Priors 300 ton motor barges, named after family members, were almost the only proper industrial craft seen

editorial@weekender.co.uk

Mary Mills

on the river at Greenwich as they took aggregate and sand from Fingringhoe to Brewery Wharf for processing – while taking some 6000 lorry movements per year off London’s congested roads.

In 2007 the wharf was refurbished working with Euromix Concrete Ltd. There had been elderly grey-painted Stothert & Pitt crane on site which English Heritage confirmed was the oldest working crane on the London river. In 2006 J J Prior carefully dismantled this and it left the Creek on one of their vessels to be taken to Fingringhoe for preservation. To replace it on site was a Stothert and Pitt DT2 crane with 4 ton capacity which they had bought from a site in Northfleet and refurbished at a total cost of £300,000. It was delivered to the site by barge, towed by the tug 'Horton', and unloaded onto new foundations there. It could unload a 300 ton cargo in an hour and reach out to unload a second vessel moored alongside the one next to the wharf.

Priors were then very optimistic about their future and hoped that works associated with the Olympic Games would revitalise traffic on the River. The new Prescott Lock on the River Lea would be navigable

by Prior's vessels and they hoped to use new wharves there.

In 2017 news came that the new crane installed in 2007 was to be dismantled www.weekender.co.uk

History James prior at Creek Bridge

as it was too expensive to maintain.

There was news that London Fire Brigade attended a blaze at the ‘crane on the Euromix site’ at Brewery Wharf’.

The boats still came to Deptford Creek and still appeared to be 'Priors' - except it was apparently not actually Priors anymore. They came from 'Ballast Quay' at Fingringhoe and we had always understood that they brought aggregate from there to Deptford..

A couple of years ago I thought I would try and find out if the old crane was at Fingringhoe. I knew it would be difficult to see anything there - but off I went.

Fingringhoe is a substantial village and luckily I could park off road at the gates to Ballast Quay. All I could see through the gate was a private house and a garden. There was a lot of 'go away' type signage. Then a man came up. He said he owned this area and it was his home and I should go away. To get to the quay you had to walk through

his area, and he wasn't having that - and anyway they were very unfriendly at the Quay. Just then a huge great lorry came hurtling down - 'jump quick' - said the man, as the lorry shot down the lane through the gates, past his house and on. He was a bit more friendly after that.

The man said that the firm have given up dredging and their mineral rights.

They had dug, dug, dug until they had a huge mountain, and that is what had been coming down to Deptford.

Once that is gone, no more . So -I also asked him about the old crane - he didn't know... and so I went home.

Brewery Wharf is a now a safeguarded wharf still used for aggregate handling.

community trust At The Heart Of The Community

news from charlton athletic community trust

“I think I would have just been sitting indoors if I didn’t come to the Hub”

Extra Time at The Valley: Photo at The Valley taken prior to Covid-19 pandemic

Lynn has been attending the Extra Time Hub with Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) for the past two years. Lynn was encouraged to attend the Hub by her friend, Gill, who was also a member.

CACT’s Extra Time Hub is a programme for over 55s to socialise and take part in a number of fun activities including bingo and singing.

Lynn was reluctant at first as she was grieving the loss of her husband, who had sadly passed away in October 2018.

“I lost my husband in the October and it was about five/six months after that I came to the Extra Time Hub. “I went and I’m glad I did, because it has helped me,” explained Lynn.

Lynn was very thankful for the support she received from the Hub and CACT staff, most notably Special Populations and Older People Co-ordinator Matt Phillips.

“Matt, he’s been fabulous, he makes you feel good when you go and even on Zoom he makes you feel welcome and it has made me feel like I could mix with people.

“It was somewhere I could go because after losing my husband I felt quite lonely and on my own but going to the Hub made a difference, meeting other people. They listened

if you wanted to chat and it was nice to meet other people.”

Lynn describes the Hub as a “second family”, explaining that “they make you feel so welcome and it did change me because I felt I wasn’t on my own, I could go and get out, because I was just staying indoors before and not going out at all and it just made a complete difference.”

Having been married to her husband for 44 years before his passing, Lynn reflects that she fell into a depression.

“I was lacking confidence because I did everything with my husband and when he passed away I just shut myself off from people. I had a bit of a hard time because it was sudden. I really went into a depression. Going to the Hub really help me come out of myself.”

The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown impacted the delivery of the Extra Time Hub. “I was lost, going there every week and then all of a sudden you haven’t got them to talk to, although I had Gill to talk to and Lynn & Matt if I needed to. You feel so lost without

that and I had to do so many isolations through this pandemic as well and it’s not nice when you’ve got to isolate and you can’t see anyone.”

However, CACT quickly arranged Zoom calls for the Extra Time Hub participants so that they could stay in contact with each other.

“On Zoom we do Bingo, quizzes and just have a laugh. To see Matt, he makes you feel so good. It’s nice and I glad I came on it, to feel re-connected.”

By attending the Extra Time Hub, Lynn was introduced to another programme CACT delivers, Nordic Walking.

“It’s nice and it’s good because others from the Hub also go.”

Lynn has come a long way since she first attended the Hub, and she now has a larger social network of friends she can contact.

“It’s necessary if you’re on your own and if you want to meet people, the best way to do it is go to the Hub where you can meet other people and they will be open arms to you, I would recommend it.

“I would say do it because it makes you feel happy and they welcome you with open arms.

“I think I would have just been sitting indoors if I didn’t come to the Hub”.
